Fit for each morbid mood of mind;

Murder and misery, want and woe were there

As large as life designed.


There was a fellow in a pretty fix,

"Tied to a corpse," all wild alarm,

Struggling across a sort of sooty Styx,

The "body" on his arm.

Or in a snow-choked city wretchedly,

Dead babe at breast, with bare blown hair,
